( I hope you will excuse my English )  I have installed Debian Linux 4.1.0  . The incoming X server does not work . I have to exclude it . In the remaining DOS like screen some keyboard keys do not work properly ( i.e. keycode 39 key = ograve,ccedilla do not work ; at : works ) .
The XFree86 version is : 4.1.0.1  ; The O.S.  is  :  Linux  2.2.20  ;  The video card  is :  SiS M650_651_650_740 .
Reading in your web site it seemed to me that XFree86 4.3.0 should work . ( You say : 4.3.0  Support ( accelerated ) for the SiS ....650,651, and 740 is provided by the "sis" driver . )  . As a matter of fact I was , ONCE , able to install 4.3.0 ( i could see the Gnome Desktop Manager screen ) , but I saw that the <> key did not work in the Lazarus Editor and I decided to reinstall Linux and XFree86 . I was not able to reinstall XFree86 again . ( I tried 6/9 times ) .
When I installed with sh Xinstall.sh ( 12 mandatory and 6 optional files ) , I remember , I was told : " You must install glide .... " and put a soft link for libglide2x.so in
/......./modules to point where libglide2x.so really is ( /usr/lib/libglide2  if I remeber correctly ) . I ( think ) installed libglide2 with dselect and made the link .
As I said I repeated many times the installations but I am not able to install , newly , XFree86 . I saved /etc/X11 files. When I run  XFree86 -configure , everything crashes and I have to reinstall from zero .  May be I do not remember/do anything . Can you tell me if 4.3.0 matches my video card ?  Is there a way not to have to reinstall from zero using XFree86 -configure ? 
 
I send ( from 4.1.0.1 )  XFree86.0.log , XF86Config-4 , scanpci.log  ( from scanpci )  .
 
Thank You very much .  Yours Sincerely  .....    Giorgio P.  -  Parma  -  Italy
